How to reduce mail storage

What happened to the option to keep mail on the phone for 3 months/6 months etc?

I’m trying to reduce Mail storage and I can’t understand why they made this difficult.

iPhone 11, iOS 18

You may need to check your eMail provider account(s) (Eg: GMail / Yahoo / Outlook etc.)

Eg: Log-in to the actual online account to see what duration is in the aettings you have put in place for the account.
